Perpetually playing physics
(2019-08-01)
Here we discuss ideas of reinforcement learning and the importance of various aspects of it. We show how reinforcement learning methods based on genetic algorithms can be used to reproduce thermodynamic cycles without prior ...
Spring Stepper: a makerspace controller for seated hands-free locomotion in virtual reality
(2019-12-01)
Natural locomotion is crucial for improving presence in a virtual environment (VE), while also reducing simulator sickness. While research in various areas of virtual reality (VR), such as head-mounted displays (HMD) and ...
Supporting student success with machine learning and visual analytics
(2019-08-01)
Post secondary institutions have a wealth of student data at their disposal. This data has recently been used to explore a problem that has been prevalent in the education domain for decades. Student retention is a complex ...
The Functionalization of Magnetic Fe3O4@TiO2 by Molecular Motif for the Detection of Mercury (II)
(2019-07-01)
2,6-bis(2-thienyl)pyridine (L) molecular receptor showed strong potential for Hg2+ detection. The chelation through S,N,S was confirmed as a main binding mode of the ligand with Hg2+ ion based on the results of 1H NMR. L ...
StoryPass: a system and study for memorable secure passphrases.
(2014-10-01)
The goal of this thesis is to study the implementation of a passphrase system that
implements new creation policies, called StoryPass. We are motivated to do this
research as current text-based authentication methods, ...
Investigation into the role of binding loop E on the function of the nematode cys-loop GABA receptor.
(2014-12-01)
Haemonchus contortus is a parasitic nematode that infects the abomasum of
ruminants. While several classes of anthelmintic drugs exist to control nematode infections,
H. contortus is resistant to all of them. Therefore, ...
Computational and laboratory investigations of a model of blood droplet flight for forensic applications
(2014-01-01)
Game developers strive to maximize immersion and engagement,
to emotionally involve the audience in their material. One technique
used to increase engagement is the development of new technologies,
such as Stereoscopic ...
The production and characterization of ceramic carbon electrode materials for CuCl-HCl electrolysis.
(2013-07-01)
Current H2 gas supplies are primarily produced through steam methane reforming and other fossil fuel based processes. This lack of viable large scale and environmentally friendly H2 gas production has hindered the wide ...
Towards a concurrent implementation of keyword search over relational databases.
(2014-06-01)
Vast amounts of data are stored in relational databases. Traditionally, querying this data required a deep understanding of the underlying schema in addition to knowledge of a query language such as structured query language ...
The effects of select non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on green and brown hydra
(2014-04-01)
Effluent pharmaceuticals are released at low concentrations into aquatic ecosystems through waste water treatment plants (WWTPs). Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are important contaminants in water cycles. ...
